SPOON Ann SPINNER BOOK.

Application filed February 9, 1920.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROY C. STEWART, a 'i:/;en of the United States, residing at in the county of lilultnoniah and on, have invented a new and oou and Spinner look, oi which owing is a specification. invention relat to spoon and spinner in other u as, to pocket cases in fish-hooks oi" the type l-znown as A 'ncrs ly carried, and consists of two shallii ily connected with to attach the eyes he .tish-ln 7 the upper and lower edges of ti trays, and havingia lining of suit ble material, to engage cork, or oth the points at io hsh-hooks.

i be

imple receptacle in which an "y an assortment of fish-hooks ist without tear of injuring himhooks, or without having to exr1. desired book from a tangled mass o banned points, as is usually the case when hooks are thrown promiscuously into an envelop Or a bag.

I attain these objects with the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure I is a. plan view or? my hook open position;

Fig. 11 is a cross section through Fig. I along line 2-2;

Fig. ill is a perspective view of my book in closed position.

a nd

The two leaves of my book are stamped 0''! metal in the shape of rectangular, shallow trays 1, and are hinged together at 2. The bottoms of the trays are, in this instance, lined with a layer of cork 3, although any other material which is capable of retaining the point of a fish-hook may be employed.

T he supporting hooks 4, which are shown near the upper and lower et ge s of the trays, serve as convenient means of attaching quickly one of the links which usually form a part of spoons and spinners. However, to keep the links taut and to prevent an accidental dislocation of the fish-hook points from the lining 3, the supporting hooks 4 are fitted slidably within a metal strip 5 and- Specification of Letters Patent.

. nishing a protective coverin g for the springs (3, and 1e web providing the guide for the supporti g hooks and simultaneously a bearing torthe springs 6.

lance at the lower right hand edge oi? l f 1', where the protective leg of the Z-bar has been broken away, reveals that each pair of supporting hooks 4L is bent of onesingle piece of wire. The advantages gained there by are partly, that the middle section 7 furnishes the i'iecessary counter bearing for the spring 6, and partly that the supporting hooks prevented from turning, in other words, their points are always maintained in an upright position, ready to receive the fish-hook.

Thesupporting hooks of the upper edge are preferably placed in staggered relation to those of the lower edge, as are also those in one tray as against the other, this enables the economical utilization of all available space, without crowdin one fish-hook on top oi the other.

Any suitable lock 8 may be used to keep the casing closed.

This book is mainly intended for spoons portionr ttely, the same construction may advantageously beused for carrying those fishhooks commonly known as fly-hooks. 7

Having thus described my invention, it will be seen that my objects have been acoornplished, and, though I have shown the preferred form oil construction, I reserve to myself the right to make minor changes, providing I do not violate the spirit and principle of my invention.

I claim:

In a spoon and spinner book, the combination comprising two shallow metal trays, hinges for the trays, a plurality Of paired supporting hooks within the trays, means oi? imparting resiliency to the supporting hooks, Z-shaped metal bars to hold the supporting hooks, and a lining of resilient material, adapted to receive and hold the point of a fish-hook.
